Yoonmin- Delusions [M.YG • P.JM]

23- Jibuem 🔙

Jibeum's POV
-still 6 years ago-

"And then he started to try and scare me with a fork-" I noticed Sunjae's attention was focused somewhere else. "Sungjae?" He turned back to me. "Were you even listening?"

He nodded his head, but his eyes were telling me something else. They kept looking at something past me. Interested, I turned around to find a boy sitting alone, yet chatting away. He caught me staring, but thought nothing of it and went back to his own business.

"Why do you keep looking at him?" I asked. There's nothing that boy is doing that's unusual or dangerous.

"No reason," was all he responded with. Yeah right.

"Obviously there is. Is he your patient?" What is he trying to hide from me? I knew he was a bit off, but this was getting weird.

"No..." After the word trailed off his lips, I could swear I saw him smirk. Like his demon had just appeared for a mere moment and disappeared back into hiding, just waiting for the right moment to come back out. I just couldn't believe a thing he said. I have to leave.

"I'm gonna go. See you tomorrow," I said, getting up from my seat and shoving my unopened cookie into the pocket of my lab coat.

"Bye."

As I was walking towards the exit, I could feel his stare burning holes in my back. I shivered at the feeling, shaking my shoulders free of it. Making it past the doors, I leaned my back onto the wall and did breathing exercises. I don't know why I was so nervous. Scared I think.

Looking to my right, my eyes read "In Sungjae" on the door. That must be his office. But so close to the cafeteria? Our offices are usually on the first floor and a couple on some floors. Who would want an office so close to the cafeteria where it's so loud? Something wasn't right.

Making sure there was no one around, I snuck into his office and closed the door behind me. Instantly, cold air surrounded me and the gave off a strange vibe. I didn't want to be in here too long. But I had to look for something. Anything that could explain the way he was looking at the young boy.

The first place I could think of to look through was his bookshelf. There were certificates...certificates...medical books...CDs...a camera. A camera? I picked it up and examined it. I wasn't very good with knowing the technicality of cameras, but I know that this one is used to film things. Probably can take pictures, too. But why does he have it here? If it was for medical use, they were always kept in the equipment room to be checked in and out, and we had our own memory cards for record. Is this his own? But why would he need it if the hospital provided it?

Flipping the screen open, I turned on the camera and saw what the lens was catching: the floor. I clicked a button to show me the camera roll, and to my horror, there were photos of a young girl wearing only her undergarments. And what's worse is that she didn't look conscious. Where did these come from? Did he-

I heard the rattling of the doorknob, and I quickly closed the screen and set the camera back in place, whipping around to see Sungjae with a confused expression.

"Jibeum? What are you doing in here?"

I felt my heart beating so fast, not because I quickly put away the camera, but because the man who took the photos was standing before me. I thought I was going to faint, sweat literally trickling down my back.

"Just admiring your achievements. I think you have more than me," I laughed, when really I wanted to cry and yell at him. "Well, sorry for coming in without asking, but I've got to attend to a patient." I forced a smile and walked past him.

Finally making it out of the suffocating aura of Sungjae and his office, I loosened my tie and breathed heavily in relief. I quickly went to my office and sat down at my desk, thinking about what to do. Do I report him? But who knows what he would do to me if he found out I was the one who outed him. Oh god, that poor girl. I wonder how many other children he's done this to.

This can't go on.

Sungjae's POV

Jibeum left with obvious nervousness, and a smile crept onto my lips. I looked around the room to see if anything looked misplaced, and there in my bookshelf was my camera glowing. I picked it up and opened the screen to see that it was on, displaying a photo of young Raena, naked. He saw this didn't he?

I quickly texted Dr. Kim that Jibeum knows and then set my phone down.

I touched the screen of the camera and gently dragged my finger over her delicate body.

Sitting down in my office chair, I began to unbuckle my belt.
